Almost Hidden Set {ahs} - xz Rule:

open for debate: how redundant is this function dose it have any applications or merit
{its probably been talked about before but i cannot find much information on AHS and its applications, links & info kindly welcome pls!}

my haphazard guess:
is that since an ahs {size 2+1} < == > Als {size 8+9}, the direct benefit i can foresee from it is application is that it can be used instead of searching for a size 5+ als

for sake of discussion some notes on my approach:

my solver has multiple save locations for a grid, i save sectors in two different fashions:
one that saves all cells for a space by digit => naked sets
one that saves all candidates for a space by cell => hidden sets -{the rules at the end of this post are based on this type of storage system!}

a naked sector (row 1) would save :
cell 1 as: [89], cell 2 [89], cell 3[1..9],cell 4[1..9],cell 5[1..9],cell 6[1..9],cell 7[1..9],cell 8[1..9],cell 9[1..9]
Code: Select all

a naked pair function for example checks a size of 2 cells combinations against a combination of 2 digits in a sector
resulting in Sector 1: Cells 1 & 2 = [89] =>> eliminate all candidates [8,9] from all peer cells R1C789, R23C123

this can also be viewed in terms of an als-xz rule
Col 1 searching for n cells, with n+1 candidate resulting in a hit on Cell 1 with [8,9]
Col 2 searching for n cells, with n+1 candidate resulting on a hit with cell 2 with [8,9]
Z = 8 or 9 and x 9 or 8 =>> eliminate all candidates [8,9] from all peer cells R1C789, R23C123

a hidden set:

a hidden pair functions by searching 2 digits combinations against a combination of 2 cells in a sector.
in Sector 1: resulting in Digits 1 & 2 in cells[1,9] =>> eliminate all candidates not in digits[1,2] from cells[1,9]

this can also be viewed in terms of an ahs-xz rule
Col 1 searching for n+1 digits, in n cells resulting on a hit for digits [8,9] in cell [1]
Col 2 searching for n+1 digits , in n cells resulting on a hit for digits [8,9] in cell [9]
Z = 8 or 9 and x 9 or 8 =>> eliminate all candidates not in digits[1,2] from cells[1,9]

AHS - xz rule:
set A is comprised of N+1 digits in N cells
set B is comprised of N+1 digits in N cells
Z is a restricted common cell of sets A&B
X is a common cell of sets A&B

if z is a peer of x cell
z = digits of A B || Z <> Digits not in A & B

Doubly linked rule:
when X is also a restricted common of sets A & B
all X cells that are peers of all Z Cells in sets A&B = Digits of A&B

To pick-up just on this comment:

The standard way to store data for Sudoku grids is (digits)position,house but it's possible to use alternative 'data spaces' using (positions)digit,house.
But a hidden set in one representation is a naked set in the other.
Therefore an algorithm to find naked and almost naked sets in one data space will find hidden and almost hidden sets in the other.

As an NS set size 5 has a HS of size 4 as a complement it is then only necessary to search for sets up to size 4.
Therefore it can be easier to have alternative data spaces and one locked set algorithm, than a single data space and two locked set algorithms.
The routines to translate one data format to the other are trivial and take little effort or space.

Re: Almost hidden set - xz rule:

Postby StrmCkr » Sat Mar 19, 2016 9:20 am

attempting to program this function:

my data storage for hidden sets is

hidden_Sector [Sector, Digit]: saving [0..8] which represents Col/Row/Box position based on the sector selected.

{specifically : in this sequence }
Row 1: 0..8 { left to right}
Col 1: 0..8 {top down}
Box1: first row {0..2}, 2nd row {3..5}, 3rd row { 6..8}

{i can convert this data into "cells" pretty easily}

my general idea:

part 1:
search [0..26 ] sectors for:
Group A ->> selecting N "digit" of a range of [1..8] digits combinations using digits [1..9 ]
verify group "A" N digits are in N+1 cells

part2:
search [0..26 sectors} which has peer {visible} cells of group A
Group B ->> selecting N "digit" of a range of [1..8] digits combinations using digits [1..9 ]
verify group "B" N digits are in N+1 cells

Part 3: this is where i get stuck~ {aHs-xz rule}
"Q" search for a [0..26] sector that is peer of group A & B
identify all digit common to both A & B
verify all cells of A & B of that digit are in the common sector "Q": label all these cells as "x"
identify all digits not common to both A & B and label all these cells as "z"

rule: all "x" cells may contain only digits from A & B


Part 4: Double link rule.

StrmCkr, I'm still a bit unsure of your intentions but have the feeling that you would need to use cell truth and link sets in the style of XSudo to reach them.

However to go back to basics when two ANSs have a single restricted common digit in combination they make a 2sector ANS, and when they have two restricted commons (ie are double linked) they make a 2sector Naked Set.

For the benefit of lurkers, when two ANSs have a restricted common digit (x) that CAN'T BE TRUE in both it must be false in one of them.
In the ANS where (x) is false all the other candidates will be true, so if (z) is another common candidate, it must be true in at least one of the ANSs and can be eliminated from any cell seeing all its possible positions.
Here (x) cannot occupy an overlap cell between the two ANSs as if it were true there it wouldn't restricted to one of them.

Translating this logic to consider a possible AHS XZRule:

Two AHSs have a restricted common digit (x) that MUST BE TRUE in one of them
In the ANS where (x) is true all the unlocked candidates will be false, so if (z) is another common unlocked candidate it must be false in at least one of them.
In turn this means it must be true in at least one of the complementary ANSs.
In this case (x) may occupy an overlap cell between the two AHSs.

The outcome is that both rules provide the same eliminations the reason being obvious when this simple chain is considered.
(x)AHS1 = (x)ANS1 – (x)ANS2 = (x)AHS2

What this points up is that if there are no restricted common digits sharing a house between the ANSs, players should check if any digits must be true in at least one of the AHSs before giving up.

Mixed... (13=7)ANS:r5c1,r6c3 – (7)r6c1 = (7)r6c7 - (7=345)ANS:r4c79,r5c9

AHS:XZ.. (3)r6c3 = (238-7)AHS:r4c13,r6c1 = (7-3)AHS:r6c7 = (3)r5c7

In each case => r4c3,r6c7 <> 3

For the doubly linked case we get into the realms of Sue de Coq patterns which caused a discussion < here > that should be of interest to you. Once the eliminations are made the ANS and AHS cells become two multi-sector locked sets.

Re: Almost hidden set - xz rule:

Postby StrmCkr » Sun Mar 20, 2016 6:07 am

Dave, for clarity

I already have Als-xz with double linked rule up and running in my solver.
I have a few diffrent ways of storing how and in what locations digits are active.

For normal Als - xz my program stores
Sectors 0..26 by cell position in sector(0..8)
Saving digits

For als xz rule my code
Searches(0..26) sectors for group a for N cells
Where 'n cells contain n+1 digits

Searches( 0..26) sectors that is a peer of a for group b
For 'n cells containing n+1 digits.

Sector q searchs for a sector (0..26) that is peer to both a and b groups.
If all cells for digit z are held in sector q *a and q*b, and z Is a digit in both a and b
Then z Is a restricted common

If digit x is contained in both a and b groups and all cells of x are not located in a q and b*q
Then x is a non restricted common

All peers cells of all x cells from a&b cannot contain digit x.

My double link code adds a second q and repeats the same process.

My attempt currently is to get almost hidden set - xz rule to work
Data storage for hidden sets is diffrent
I have sector(0..26) by digit(1..9) saving cell position(0..8)

The diffrence in storage
consider a naked pair at cells 1 and 9 for digit 1, 2
Naked set storage reads
0,0:[1,2]
0,8;[1,2]
(the other 7 cells would be a hidden set)
Hidden pair at cells 1&9 for digits 1,2
Hidden set storage reads
0,1:[0,8]
0,2:[0,8]
( the other 7 digits would be a naked set)
Some do, some teach, the rest look it up.

StrmChkr, I took it that because you were posting in the 'Advanced Solving Techniques' section you were having problems understanding the logic when investigating if the ANS XY Rule had an AHS counterpart. However I think your problems are far more concerned about the coding issues and should probably have been posted in the 'Software' section (perhaps Jason could move this thread there).

Perhaps our programmers can help you further.

Well, the deductions are inverse of each other
each other
Als-xz removes x from peers of x cell (cells outside the als
Ahs-xz removes all digits not used in set a and b from cell x, (internal cells)

( this thread is still on Ahs-xz application, figured I'd keep a coding question regarding it on the same thread)
Pretty sure i figured out what I'm missing from the function which is
X must see all z cells.

Thanks for the older link to stuff I read along time ago

finally:
got it to work using my

row/box/col conversion to show hidden sets directly. {which i used for other shorter solving techniques earlier in my program}

Row digit saving col
Col digit saving row
box col saving square

as a bonus i realized what i did to make my als engine unable to be flipped into these directly and acted more comber-sum have an impending upgrade for it as well :)

hind site...
had this project on the shelf for 2 years finally had time to do it lol

anyone know if its possible to invert this als-xz to showcase it as an ahs-xz

so far i don't think its possible to use AHS-xz rules on two sectors that don't overlap.

bridging the intersections with 2 strong links on 2 & 4 makes it double linked ahs-xz style elimination...

What are the advantages of ahs-xz over als-xz? In my opinion, ahs-xz deletion number is not as large as als-xz deletion number which complements each other. In addition, are ahs-xz all rank0 logic structures?

The advantages is run time

Als size 5 - 8 (cells per sector)
Has a complementary ahs size 1-4 (digits per sector)

Yes they tend to leave blr move set after completion unless you add the complexity to it
But that is also relative to an als functions as well.
